Understanding Dentinogenesis: A Comprehensive Overview
Dentinogenesis is a crucial process in tooth development starting at the cusp tips as odontoblasts differentiate and begin collagen production. Factors like TGF, IGF, and BMP play key roles in organizing odontoblast cytoskeleton assembly. Odontoblasts take up calcium, maintain high concentrations, a

Investigation into the Role of Cytoskeletal Proteins in Amoeba Movement
Amoeba cells move by forming pseudopodia, which are cellular extensions due to the cytoskeleton. A study exposed Amoeba cells to drugs disrupting cytoskeletal proteins, showing a significant effect on cell shape. Statistical analysis using Chi-Square test indicated a strong correlation between drug

Understanding the Role of Microtubules in Cell Remodeling
The cytoskeleton, a network of fibers made from proteins, plays a crucial role in maintaining cell structure and shape. Microtubules, which are hollow straight rods made from tubulin proteins, control the movement of membrane-bound organelles and cell components. During cell division, microtubules a
